Abstract:
|
We present a method for assessing variable importance in matched case-control investigations and other highly stratified studies characterized by high dimensional data (p >> n). The proposed methods are motivated by a cardiovascular disease systems biology study involved matched cases and controls. In simulated and real datasets, we show that the proposed algorithm performs better than a conventional univariate method (conditional logistic regression) and a popular multivariable algorithm (Random Forests) that does not take the matching into account.
